Candidate Testimonials

I have been working for New Directions for nearly 2 academic years and have been in the same school that I started in since joining ND for that period. I therefore, haven’t had to get in touch with New Directions often, although my Account Manager has been helpful and very friendly throughout and has said to call at anytime if I need any advice or support.

Working with New Directions has been a pleasure. When I joined I asked if they could find me work in an Additional Learning Needs School and I was offered a placement one close to home and have been here ever since. New Directions regularly offer courses that would be good for me and the team overall have been excellent!

Lauren, Higher Level Teaching Assistant, Bargoed

I joined New Directions in March after them being recommended by a friend.  I have found the team very helpful and have a great working relationship with them. They have found me placements near to my home address which is great as working with other agencies previously I could be sent to schools upto 90 minutes away. The girls understand my family needs and always do their best to support me with placements. I would highly recommend signing up with New Directions if you are looking for work in Schools.

Greg, Primary Teacher

I joined New Directions after moving over from my home country.  I am a qualified Teacher but decided to sign up as a classroom assistant to gain experience within the UK before taking up a teaching role. I would like to thank the team for their support as I now feel I have the experience within UK schools to make the move into Teaching and I am looking forward to continuing with New Directions in September as a Teacher.  Thanks again team Liverpool for all your support this last year.

Maria, Classroom Assistant, Liverpool

I have worked with New Directions for a year and I am so pleased with the support the team have given me.  They found me a long term placement which I have been lucky enough to gain a permanent post from.  I couldnt have done this without the girls in the office and I appreciate everything they have done for me.  I always recommend New Directions to anyone looking to work within Education and I will continue to do this.

Jennifer, Classroom Assistant

I have worked with New Directions since September 2015 and feel supported by all the Liverpool team.  I gained a long term role within weeks of joining and throughly enjoyed every minute of it.  I have a friend who is moving over from America and put her in touch with the Liverpool office as I know they will fully support her in making the move and I feel they are a great team. I look forward to see what September brings with you.

Marta, Teacher, Liverpool

I joined New Directions in August 2015 after deciding to leave a permanent post as a secondary Teacher to pursue a career teaching within Primary Schools.  The team have supported me in making this transition and placed me within several of their Primary Schools allowing me to gain experience within different Key Stages.  I have worked both day to day and also gained a long term placement covering PPA.  I would like to thank the Liverpool team for their support and I look forward to continuting work with New Directions in September.

Carla, Teacher, Liverpool

My contact is an excellent account manager. She has always found me bookings that meet my criteria. One such placement has lead to repeat bookings. She is approachable and quick to respond to any queries.

Stephanie, Additional Learning Needs Teacher, Vale of Glamorgan

Since starting work with New Directions I have found the staff really friendly and helpful, and have been given many opportunities for work placements, the staff are always aware of my schedule and give me work placements that fit around this. I have enjoyed working at every placement and feel that I am looked after very well by the New Directions staff.
